Popular Post villabromsgrove Posted September 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2020 I watched Watkins in every televised Brentford match last season, and I'm praying we get this deal signed and sealed. My question to those of you unhappy with this possible deal is .... have you watched Ollie Watkins play 90 minutes regularly? He's a perfect fit for Villa. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I'd say you're correct. Jokes aside I think we needed this type of signing, but still not comfortable about that kind of money for a 24/25 year old championship striker from a tin pot club. He could easily choke when he arrives at a big club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mykeyb Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 If he costs £33 million then he will be a success so nothing to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 A lot of money but he has the attributes to do well in this league so let’s see.. I’ve got a feeling he will be our Antonio signing which I’d be happy with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted September 8, 2020 Moderator Share Posted September 8, 2020 Number of goals scored last season by the list from earlier (with added Wesley for fun). Raúl Jiménez- 17 goals Sebastian Haller - 7 goals Ismaïla Sarr - 5 goals Moise Kean - 2 goals Joelinton - 2 goals Ayoze Pérez - 8 goals Alex Iwobi - 1 goal Wesley - 5 goals How many do you fancy from Watkins in 2020-21? I'd like to think he'll reach double figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Willard Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Been really negative about this signing. I really feel his finishing isn't to the standard of the elite strikers but we aren't at that level yet. I was hoping we were in for Édouard and this signing means that will won't be happening. The positives I see from this is that there's little settling required and he is a work horse like Tammy was for us in the championship. If he doesn't score 15 goals next season he will be pressing and maybe the team will.score more instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think he'll reach double figures. The only one from that list I think is better than him is Jimenez. Wesley at his best (I know) can be as good as anyone. Haller is interesting and I expect him to deliver for the spammers next season. Watkins is a good good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WallisFrizz Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I am delighted and not bothered about the price. I think by Christmas it will start to look like good value. Now keep going Villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KMitch Posted September 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2020 10 minutes ago, choffer said: Keep in mind the narrative Villa have... We're not a media darling club, nor do we have a fashionable manager, plus most casual Premier League fans think we only stayed up because of that Hawkeye decision against Sheffield United. Villa dropping "33 Million for a Championship player" fits the narrative they already have written for us, just like "Bielsa manages to bring Spain's #1 striker to newly promoted Leeds" or "Wilson signs for Newcastle because of the film Goal" or "Wolves signs 'Wonderkid' from Portugal ahead of European giants" fits the stereotypical story for those clubs. 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
